Animal Welfare Professionals

I have someone that contacted me stating they have a feral cat that needs help. Injured leg, they have no money to help it. What can she do?

Hi, I realize that this was posted a while ago...hoping that you have received assistance already...have you/she contacted local animal rescues/rescues that specialize in cat's/rescues that focus on trap-neuter-release? They may have humane have-a-heart traps to help kitty get to the veterinarians. They would likely also be able to assess the situation with a more experienced eye.  Sarah

Would love an update!! 

It's great that you're looking out for the well-being of this feral cat. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

1. Contact Local Animal Rescues or Shelters: Reach out to local animal rescues, shelters, or humane societies. They often have resources or partnerships with veterinary clinics that can provide care for injured animals, and some may offer services specifically for feral cats.

2. Search for Low-Cost Veterinary Clinics: Look for veterinary clinics that offer discounted rates for injured or feral animals. Some communities have low-cost spay/neuter and basic care programs specifically for feral cats.

3. Animal Welfare Organizations: National organizations like the SPCA or ASPCA may have resources or contacts that can help provide care for feral cats in need.

4. Crowdfunding or Community Support: Consider starting a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the cat's medical care. Posting in local community groups or social media platforms can also rally community support.

5. TNR Programs: Look for local Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. They sometimes assist with medical issues encountered during the trapping process.

Taking these steps can make a significant difference for the injured cat. Thank you for caring!
